What did you do to your G01 X3 today?

shemazar · 08-26-2018, 10:08 PM

Also, got mine ceramic coated with ceramic pro 2 coats 1.5 weeks ago. Took it for a few pics at my parking deck... it's uh, super awesome with this coating on. Everything just blows right off of it and it's amazingly slick and shiny. Love.

That looks stunning. I’m getting mine done in a couple of weeks. I’ve got wheel envy, as the 21’s look amazing.

I wonder where I could get a set at a good price in the UK? Or, I wonder if they do a 20” version, so I don’t have to pay for more tyres.

It's amazeballs.

NICE! Waiting for these to be a little more common, and a little less expensive...

I got the ceramic job done here in Santa Clara, CA by Dynamic Detailing for ~$1500. Normal silver was a little shy of 1k, and they charge a 15% premium for SUVs. Top notch shop - probably the best detailer I’ve seen around. They kept the car for two days to get it done. They have a Silver+ package that gives you 10 year warranty with two layers of 9H + 1 of the 9H Lite. They also coat your glass + wheels with 9H.

Not yet... just did a quick detail with Meguire's and slicked it up a bit.

RichM50d · 09-10-2018, 12:42 PM

Had the car detailed & ceramic coated this weekend. It looks awesome! The paint literally pops now, with all the metallic flake standing out in the sun.

Gimmethecash · 09-11-2018, 05:27 PM

Put some 20" OZ wheels on:

I took delivery 3 days ago and next week I am going to get the front plate installed. your picture helped to convince me as I have the same exterior color vehicle. Thanks!

About 1600 for me. 1k for the airbag or there-about, then another 600-700 for a wheel on E-Bay.

Plastidip my grills black!
Next up is to do the same on my "X3" at the back.
